You know how it is you take your steam engine out for a drive, and can't find anywhere to park it.
The railway has been running again for a couple of months now albeit without a steam train.
They took delivery of an engine this week so hope to have it running in December.
The new Virgin Trains TV ad was filmed in Weardale, it cost £6million apparently.
A brand new train was brought in by road, authentic American Indians were flown in from Canada!!???
The horses came from Spain. The Weardale Gazette put it all into perspective with the headline:
VIRGIN SPOTTED AT EASTGATE.
Er... "authentic American Indians were flown in from Canada." Say What?
Bet they were virgins to, eh. Glad the trains are running, John. But I bet you miss the steam.

I just love your humour Johnny. Guest the reporter couldn't resist that by-line on his story.
